AB Mushrooms have been consumed for thousands of years, and several bioactive components were found therein, including lovastatin, &#947;-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and ergothioneine. The study reported herein was to analyze these three bioactive components in 15 fruiting bodies and 9 mycelia of 19 species of mushrooms from genera <i>Agaricus, Agrocybe, Auricularia, Boletus, Ganoderma, Hypsizygus, Inonotus, Lentinus, Morchella, Pleurotus, Tremella, Termitomyces,</i> and <i>Volvariella</i>. The results show that <i>Hypsizygus marmoreus</i> contained the highest amount of lovastatin (628.05 mg/kg) in fruiting bodies and <i>Morchella esculenta</i> contained the highest amount (1438.42 mg/ kg) in mycelia. <i>Agaricus brasiliensis</i> contained the highest amount of GABA (1844.85 mg/kg) in fruiting bodies, and mycelia of <i>Boletus edulis, Pleurotus citrinopileatus</i>, and <i>Termitomyces albuminosus</i> contained extraordinarily higher amounts (1274.03, 1631.67, and 2560.00 mg/kg, respectively). <i>Volvariella volvacea</i> contained the highest amount of ergothioneine (537.27 mg/kg) in fruiting bodies and mycelia; <i>Boletus edulis, Pleurotus ferulae</i>, and <i>P. salmoneostramineus</i> contained relatively higher amount of ergothioneine too (258.03, 250.23, and 222.08 mg/kg, respectively). However, none of these components was detected in fruiting bodies of <i>Inonotus obliquus</i>. In conclusion, these three bioactive components were commonly found in most mushrooms, and these results might be related to their beneficial effects.
